Epic Dive at Mala Wharf.

Yesterday My buddy Tim the owner of Tiny Bubbles Scuba, took me out on the iconic Mala Wharf dive.  It was EPIC!

Banded coral shrimp. These little dudes are so cool.

A moorish idol and a couple of butterfly fish.

I love watching reef sharks they are so beautiful, graceful actually.

Off shore fisherman hook white-tip reef sharks often.  I have taken hooks out of turtles, but i have no intention of trying to help this guy.  There were four sharks under the docs that we found, and I am sure there were more we just didn’t find.

School of chubs.

Puffer Fish, I see more of them on the north beaches past Kapalua but it was good to spend some time with this gal.

So many green sea turtles.

Frog Fish, love these guys!

And I finally (after 50+ dives since 2012) got PADI certified as an open water recreational diver.   Now I can go anywhere and have my own tanks to go dive anywhere in the world!

I am still inching closer to opening the studio so we can start tattooing and painting again!  I will keep you all posted.

Mahalo.

Olowalu Dive.

Today was the first day the the County of Maui opened up the beaches for us all to go outside and enjoy the day.  It was amazing, everyone was at the beach and I ran into people I have not seen for months.  My friend Tim, owner of Tiny Bubbles Scuba took me out for a dive.  We went to Olowalu and just kinda hung out with some turtles. 

It was so awesome to just be outside, in the ocean again enjoying Maui for what I live here for: the ocean is everything here to me.

We only went down to 30ish feet, it was just fantastic to get out there and enjoy the day. 

Mahalo Tim.

Needed Hike.

We have been in our house for 53 days.  We have been out a few times, a couple to get supplies and a couple for some exercise.  We had to escape for a hike with the dogs, and we are bored out of our minds, but we are ave and neither of us has caught the virus so it’s not all bad.

Stay safe people, this will end eventually.
